Darwin's Nightmare background

Darwin's Nightmare

The documentary explores the devastating impact of the Nile perch on Tanzania's Lake Victoria, as the invasive species decimates native species and displaces local families, who struggle to access food while European supermarkets profit from the catch.

The story delves into the lucrative gun trade between Russia and Africa, where Russian pilots transport weapons to the continent and then export fish to Europe. The narrative examines the devastating consequences of this trade, including the widespread violence and chaos it spreads across Africa.
